I think this is a good point. Right now we only have three players under contract past 2023/24: Coleman, Andersson and Markstrom. I think it would be prudent to get at least a few more core pieces locked up while the cap is “low”.
Incidentally, the Athletic did a feature on the top 10 contracts in the league based on current value, term remaining, etc. Gaudreau’s new deal was in the top 10, Makar was number 1. Under “honourable mentions” they included Rasmus Andersson (who has four years left at $4.55M AAV).
